Space War

#ColgateMagicalStories

It is a
bright sunny Sunday morning and Raghu as usual is insisting to play his
favorite game – ‘Alien Attack’. After an hour of his stubbornness, his mother
gave in and told him to go but warned him to be back before dark. Kids as usual
don’t pay heed to parent’s advice. He called Ram to join his bandwagon. Soon
after Raghu, Ram and Alia went to nearby park with their mission kit to play
Alien attack. In the meantime they were discussing about their playing
strategy, Alia’s got distracted by a sharp reflection of white light. She got
curious and followed the reflection. In a couple of minutes, she shouted and
her other two companions joined her. A big oval shaped thing was lying before
them with a glass window on top. Suddenly the window opened and they could see
three chairs in it. All of them stepped inside and took their respective seats.
The window top closed. The mysterious machine started beeping loudly. The trio
got scared. Soon after a message in bold red appeared on a LCD screen in front
of them,” Wear seat belt. It is for your own safety”. They swung into action
and tied themselves firmly. The machine made a loud sound and lifted itself
from the ground and started revolving in clockwise motion. It was like spin
cycle of automatic washing has begun. In a flash of a minute they were in dark
sky, surrounded by big huge circular planets staring angrily at them as if they
were questioning the entry of intruders in their area. The spaceship flew at
never imagined speed and reached a land full of snow. The LCD display outside
showed -150 degree Celsius. Three warm suits dropped from above their seats and
a harsh male voice commanded them to wear the suits. Then they were asked to
follow the glowing pathway lights up to a distant castle.

“Welcome to
the land of Pluto”.

I am the
king of this land,”BigMac”.

Raghu asked
the king,”My lord, why we have been brought here?”

The king gestured towards his left. A meek fellow with white
hair, big black spectacles stood and began to speak. I am Dr Morpan, researcher
at Pluto. We have found that people from Earth are constantly trying to intrude
our land by sending in rockets and astronauts. You people are so much power
hungry that you fight your own people for land, food, money and now you are
making our lives miserable. Then he showed them a movie over the past 10 years
how mankind has really polluted their atmosphere and their ill effects on them.
At the end of the movie, Dr Morepan said,” We have kidnapped you and we want to
negotiate with your people to leave our land or else you have to die”. A big
monstrous laugh leaves them stunned.

Meanwhile on Earth, Raghu’s mother got worried when he
didn’t turn up before dark. It was 08:00 PM now. She searched the entire
society, checked with security if Raghu went outside the gate. When nothing
worked out, she went to police station to register an FIR. On the other hand,
ISRO received an extra terrestrial message saying, “We have Raghu, Ram, and
Alia. Leave Pluto, we leave them”. There was a emergency alert sounded in
entire country. Home minister ordered to attack Pluto and bring back the kids
safe and sound. ISRO planned a nuclear warfare and planted MISSLE1990 targeting
Pluto. Minutes before the launch, they sent a warning message to Pluto asking
them to surrender and handover the kids. Dr Morepan analyzed the missile power
and advised the King to surrender else they will meet their end. The king got
terrified and asked his council to send a message of ceasefire to Earth.

Raghu, Alia and Ram were back in their park. When asked
where they went, all they could recall was nothing about their extra
terrestrial trip.
